Season 7 of Love Island USA wrapped up with a dramatic finale on July 13, revealing Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales as the winners. The fan-favorite pair took home the $100,000 prize after weeks of navigating romance and drama in the villa.
Nic Vansteenberghe and Olandria Carthen came in second place, while Iris Kendall & Pepe Garcia-Gonzalez and Huda Mustafa & Chris Seeley also made it to the final four.
Just before the finale, longtime islanders Chelley Bissainthe and Ace Greene were dumped from the villa after receiving the fewest viewer votes.
Love Island Winners: Amaya and Bryans Love Story
Amaya Espinal, 25, is a cardiac nurse from New York City with Dominican roots. She entered the villa in Episode 4 as a bombshell and immediately stood out for her confidence, honesty, and no-nonsense approach to dating. Though her first match with Ace didn’t stick, Amaya kept her composure and stayed true to herself—earning the respect of both islanders and viewers alike.
Bryan Arenales, 27, joined later during the Casa Amor twist. Originally from Boston and of Puerto Rican-Guatemalan descent, Bryan made a quiet but steady impression. After Zak Srakew’s departure, Bryan connected with Amaya, and the two built their relationship without the messiness that defined much of the season.
Together, Amaya and Bryan offered something rare on reality TV: a drama-free, emotionally mature connection that grew stronger with time. Their calm energy and mutual respect set them apart from flashier pairs and ultimately helped them win over America’s votes.
The couple will return to screens for the Love Island USA Season 7 reunion special, airing August 25 on Peacock. Hosted by Andy Cohen and Ariana Madix, the reunion will revisit standout moments, clear up lingering drama, and offer an update on how Amaya and Bryan are navigating life outside the villa.
